Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs separated
  • ½ cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sweetener of choice optional
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder optional, for structure
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls (at least two)
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Silicone spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional, for cottage cheese)
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Preheat the oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Separate the eggs
  1. Carefully separate egg whites and yolks into two clean bowls. Ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as fat will prevent proper whipping.
Whip the egg whites
  1. Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until foamy, then increase to high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. The whites should hold their shape when the beaters are lifted.
Prepare the yolk mixture
  1. In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, sweetener (if using), salt, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth. For extra smoothness, blend briefly using a blender or immersion blender.
Fold gently
  1. Add one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Gently fold using a spatula. Repeat with the remaining egg whites, folding carefully to avoid deflating the mixture.
Add blueberries
  1. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Shape the cloud bread
  1. Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into round mounds or rustic bread shapes, leaving space between each.
Bake
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and set. Avoid opening the oven during baking.
Cool
  1. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
